Indian Bucks Confuse Draft With Real War
SANTA FE, N.M.. Oct. 16 —(U.P.)—A movie star and 4000 Uavajo Indians, who thought war had been declared, provided the highlights today as New Mexico registered its young men under the conscription law.
The movie star was Tyrone Power, on vacation in New Mexico with his wife, Annabella. He registered at Taos while a crowd of fans watched.
The 4000 young Navajo bucks, reservation officials at Gallup said, were convinced that registration under the selective service law meant they had been drafted for war.
“Many said goodbye to their families,” said Tribal Leader Hosteen Begay. “Scores were convinced they were going to war and said they were ready to serve.”
The Indians finally went back to their homes after they signed up while officials started plans for formation of a special Indian conscript training camp to keep tribesmen together in the event they are drafted.

Pereira Lauds Political Liberty Maintenance
“History alone will tell the future of Monroeism of the democracies and of the totalitarian powTers,” Dr. Octavio Mendez Pereira declared yesterday in his lecture. “Democratic Monroeism and Totalitarian Monroeism.” given ln the art and lecture room of the Doheny Memorial library.
Dr. Pereira stressed that the democracies are now standing together with a common front in defense of their political liberties against the aggression and suppression of ; the totalitarian powers.
"In democratic Monroeism this great continent, formed by a vast I territory, gifted with enormous re- j sources, and separated by two oceans from the rest of the world is. by the will of 250.000.000 souls, j a land consecrated to political liberty. whose roots are peace and prosperity, whose faith remains in democracy, whose force comes from union, and whose supreme will is to consolidate justice and good will to the entire world.” Dr. Rereira explained.
“Totalitarian Monroeism has been converted by three men. dictators and tyrants to their own people, in a land of destruction and conquest, whose system is suppression of liberty and judicial equality and liberty of the states, whose faith is in a military force and totalitarian government, and whose strength comes from destruction of democracy and complete submission to the will of one man.”
Since the Havana conference, according to Dr. Pereira, the South American nations supported the Monroe doctrine principle of ‘all for one and one for all.” No longer is there fear of an imperialistic conquest by tfie United States.

Nation s Men Respond to Draft Service Call
By United Press
America’s manhood paused yesterday in the regular routine of rural and metropolitan life throughout the nation to register for defense under the selective service act.
From the men will be picked 900.000 of the best, the cream of the physically fit, the mentally sound and the socially available, to learn to shoot a rifle, to drill, to throw a grenade, to thrust a bayonet, to peel potatoes, to ride a pitching tank, to handle a machine gun, to do the manual of arms.
The muster began at 7 a.m. on the Atlantic seaboard and rolled westward with the sun until it was 9 p.m. on the Pacific coast. In mountain hamlets, great cities, cold drizzles and brilliant sunshine, the

Dr. Kirby Page, author and lecturer, will speak on '‘Christianity's Answer to Totalitarianism,” at a dinner arranged by the Wesley club in the University Methodist church at 5:30 this evening.
Dr. Page has traveled extensively, visiting 35 countries and dining with such noteworthy people as Mahatma Ghandi, Kakawa, President and Madame Chiang-Kai-shek. and Jawaharlal Nehru. He also has interviewed Lloyd George, Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and the late Ramsay MacDonald.

Engineers Hear War Experiences
Prof. Thomas T. Eyre of the College of Engineering, will outline some of his experiences as a captain in the 116th Engineers during World War I at the luncheon meeting of the student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 304 Engineering today at 12:10 p.m.
“Principle tools of the army engineer are a pick, a shovel, an axe, and a wheel barrow — not a slide rule,” Professor Eyre said. He laid the break-through of the Maginot line to the French military policy of digging in and waiting for the enemy onslaught. This is contrary to the theory of American tactics wiiich stresses maneuverability.
“Trench warfare is not newr,”
Professor Eyre declared and he told that the beginning of the so-called “new" methods dates back to the Romans.
The job of the army engineer is to make maps, build roads and day until Friday. October 25. bridges, supervise demolition work, sell tickets for any of the trains
Editor Reports Wampus All Sold
“Click” went the cashier's window. “tingle-tingle” went the cash register, and there were no more copies of the Wampus!
By 2 p.m.. Sherry Ardell. Delta Zeta sorority member and last month's winner of the sales contest, had sold 125 copies of the magazine. and at 3 p.m. there were no more copies of the issue.
The ox-blood color of the magazine seemed to have its reputational attraction for passives as well as for belligerents.
The way fellows crowded for copies betrayed the innate vanity of the male — the chap on the cover was handsome.

Nation s Men Respond to Draft Service Call
By United Press
America’s manhood paused yesterday in the regular routine of rural and metropolitan life throughout the nation to register for defense under the selective service act.
From the men will be picked 900.000 of the best, the cream of the physically fit, the mentally sound and the socially available, to learn to shoot a rifle, to drill, to throw a grenade, to thrust a bayonet, to peel potatoes, to ride a pitching tank, to handle a machine gun, to do the manual of arms.
The muster began at 7 a.m. on the Atlantic seaboard and rolled westward with the sun until it was 9 p.m. on the Pacific coast. In mountain hamlets, great cities, cold drizzles and brilliant sunshine, the

Engineers Hear War Experiences
Prof. Thomas T. Eyre of the College of Engineering, will outline some of his experiences as a captain in the 116th Engineers during World War I at the luncheon meeting of the student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 304 Engineering today at 12:10 p.m.
“Principle tools of the army engineer are a pick, a shovel, an axe, and a wheel barrow — not a slide rule,” Professor Eyre said. He laid the break-through of the Maginot line to the French military policy of digging in and waiting for the enemy onslaught. This is contrary to the theory of American tactics wiiich stresses maneuverability.
“Trench warfare is not newr,”
Professor Eyre declared and he told that the beginning of the so-called “new" methods dates back to the Romans.
The job of the army engineer is to make maps, build roads and day until Friday. October 25. bridges, supervise demolition work, sell tickets for any of the trains
Editor Reports Wampus All Sold
“Click” went the cashier's window. “tingle-tingle” went the cash register, and there were no more copies of the Wampus!
By 2 p.m.. Sherry Ardell. Delta Zeta sorority member and last month's winner of the sales contest, had sold 125 copies of the magazine. and at 3 p.m. there were no more copies of the issue.
The ox-blood color of the magazine seemed to have its reputational attraction for passives as well as for belligerents.
The way fellows crowded for copies betrayed the innate vanity of the male — the chap on the cover was handsome.
